Cross-Industry Automation and Innovation for Control Panels
Automation in control panels play a crucial role in optimizing operations, ensuring safety, and enhancing efficiency. Simplex System Controls, the leader in manufacturing of Custom Industrial Electric and Pneumatic Control Panels, serves a diverse range of industries, each with unique requirements and challenges. By providing solutions across these sectors, we naturally identify valuable cross-industry learnings that drive innovation in automation. We enable superior control panel automation by considering implementation and design, plus meeting stringent safety standards such as UL certifications.
Here are some examples by industry:
In food & beverage, hygiene, quality control, and logistics are critical. Control panels are designed to withstand rigorous cleaning processes and maintain accurate temperature control. Best practices on durability and accuracy can be applied across industries where environmental conditions are critical. The control panels are designed to be integrated into a larger turnkey system when needed. We are humbled that our customers comment, ‘We have peace of mind with Simplex given their honesty and integrity.’
For the natural gas & renewable energy sectors, control panels must be able to handle complex processes and monitor mission-critical systems. Automation helps in real-time monitoring and fault detection, ensuring continuous operations and creating the need for robust, fail-safe designs for uninterrupted energy supply. Simplex products meet multiple UL standards including UL698A, UL1203, and UL508A. Our customers often note that ‘the Simplex team understands how to design and build panels.’ This means we don’t require a lot of time from our customers’ engineers.
For water & wastewater management, control panels are essential in monitoring flow rates, pressure, and chemical levels. The learnings from this industry highlight the importance of reliable data acquisition and remote monitoring, ensuring that systems can be managed efficiently and safely, even from a distance.
For personal care products, control panels ensure consistency in production. Automation in this industry shows us the value of precision and repeatability, ensuring each product batch meets the specified quality standards—principles that can be adopted in other manufacturing processes.
In machine manufacturing, control panels must adapt to diverse and changing needs. This industry sector requires flexibility in design, allowing for easy updates and customization. Such adaptability is crucial in industries that face rapidly changing technological demands and need modern factory automation.
For government applications such as Homeland Security, control panels are integrated into systems that protect public safety. The learnings from this sector emphasize the need for robust security features and the ability to withstand external threats, which are applicable to any industry where safety and security are top priorities.
In the pharmaceutical industry, precision and compliance are required. Control panels must adhere to strict regulatory standards while ensuring precise control of production processes.
From our experience with applications of control panels across these varied industries, we apply insights that drive innovation and improve automation processes demonstrating the common threads of industrial advancements. These are just a few of the many industries we serve.
